Lemoyne, Camp Hill sever ties on wastewater treatment plant project

Camp Hill and Lemoyne severed ties tonight over the long-debated wastewater treatment plant upgrade that has bedeviled both communities for more than two years.

Sam Andes, Lemoyne Municipal Authority’s solicitor, read a letter from Camp Hill’s solicitor stating the borough would participate if the authority met its conditions, including the creation of a regional authority to run the plant.

Stating those conditions weren’t agreeable to either the borough or the authority, Andes was directed to write a letter to Camp Hill acknowledging its withdrawal.

On Tuesday, Wormleysburg voted to leave Lemoyne in favor of an agreement with East Pennsboro Township.

Andes said Camp Hill will remain responsible for reimbursing the authority for work already performed.

Lemoyne, which has been awaiting this decision, will begin in earnest to design its plant, which must be online by 2014 and meeting Chesapeake Bay agreement standards for reduced pollutants by the next year.
